Troubleshooting

Pen not writing

Ensure the cap has been removed and the tip is not obstructed. Try scribbling on a rough surface to encourage ink flow. If the issue persists, the pen may be out of ink.

Skipping ink

This can sometimes occur if the pen has been stored improperly or subjected to extreme temperatures. Ensure the pen is stored upright with the tip down. Gentle scribbling may help.

Ink smudging

Allow a few moments for the ink to dry after writing, especially on glossy paper. Avoid smudging by keeping the writing hand to the right of the writing line for right-handed users, and to the left for left-handed users.
